eggersmann in 2026: the new framed front, White Tiger and the Skywalk island

A slender frame with a chamfered inner edge

With a careful development of the classic frame, eggersmann breaks with the conventional version. The new front works with an extremely slim frame in velvet matt lacquer whose inner edge is chamfered precisely inwards. That fine chamfer refracts the light three-dimensionally, gives the front a depth it would not otherwise have, and takes the severity out of a run of closed surfaces.

The real difference in this segment, though, is in the construction. Comparable profiles are almost always available in fixed standard grids only, whereas eggersmann makes these fronts to the millimetre. For our planning in Hamburg that means the joints and the height lines follow the room rather than the catalogue.

In a second composition eggersmann combines the slender framed front with a warm, light wood veneer and the natural stone White Tiger. The strong, lively figure of the stone works as a counterweight to the restraint of the lacquer and the calm of the veneer.

What is worth noting is how far the material is carried through. White Tiger is used not only for the worktops but also for illuminated stone shelves in genuine stone, integrated without a visible joint. That is the point where industrial precision and the flexibility of a joinery workshop have to meet, because neither on its own produces it.

The Skywalk island

The Skywalk island is the monolithic counterpart. A concealed supporting structure inside the carcass lets it cantilever into the room on one side with nothing beneath it. The block loses its visible weight, and the relationship between the cooking zone and the living space changes with it.

The detail that shows the work is in the lines. The natural stone back panel carries the vein of the material across the stone shelf in front of it without a break. That continuity is not a coincidence of the slab; it is decided when the stone is cut.

Which collections and design lines eggersmann currently carries is set out in the overview of eggersmann. Examples from Hamburg projects can be seen in the project overview.
